Installing 8.1.7 on Redhat 7.1

I've tried the install several times on Redhat 7.1 to no avail. I can get xclock to work on my terminal, so I know X is working. I've followed all of the instructions ( at least all of the ones that I can find....each time I look, I find a new set that someone else has written). When I try to run the universal installer, I get

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...

Then it exits back to the prompt. However, the when I run top, this appears and stays there until I kill it

1532 oracle 17 0 3116 3116 944 R 99.2 0.6 2:41 jre

If you notice, its using 99.2% CPU, however seems to be doing nothing.

This is the glibc that I have installed
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2

glibc-devel-2.2.3-1
glibc-common-2.2.3-1
glibc-2.2.3-1

Does anyone have any idea where to turn here? I've heard rumors of a http install, but can't find any documentation. Any help would be appreciated. Received on Fri Aug 31 2001 - 04:54:10 CEST
